[Chapter-delegates] PIR and wikileaks.ORG

[Jon Zittrain]

A quick technical question: isn't (wasn't?) EveryDNS just the 
registrar, not the registry?  At the end of the day it's the registry 
-- Afilias? -- that operationally resolves a .org name, not the 
registrar.  The registrar just is the party authorized/expected to 
make any changes in the registry entries for the names it 
registers.  So how would a DDOS against the DNS resolution service -- 
the reason cited by EveryDNS for its ... deregistering? changing the 
pointed-to site to null? ... involve EveryDNS and its customers?  ...JZ
